In an attempt to put an end to unauthorized wild parties in its listed host properties, Airbnb is encouraging hosts to install surveillance equipment. The equipment, which can be attached to ceilings or walls, would monitor decibel levels and alert the host’s smartphone when the noise gets too loud.
As part of its new “party prevention” campaign — which also includes banning “open-invite” parties or events — Airbnb is offering hosts discounts on three monitors, with one even able to sense changes in motion, temperature, and humidity. According to Airbnb, the goal of the campaign is to limit irresponsible behavior and reduce damage to homes.
